(CIDIP-VII) and, in resolution AG/RES. 2033 (XXXIV-O/04),

Registries, and Guidelines for Electronic Registries); and
That the Permanent Council approved a methodology (as set
forth in document CP/CAJP-2309/05) by which governmental and
independent experts will participate in drafting these
instruments within an Internet Discussion Forum developed

experts to participate in this preparatory work, which has

of experts for each CIDIP-VII topic, consisting of

experts to participate in said groups.

this Conference.
5. To take note of the methodology adopted by the Permanent
Council by which the groups of experts will participate in
the preparatory work via the Internet Discussion Forum; and

needed, to finalize the drafting of the inter-American

CIDIP-VII once the preparatory work has been completed,
